Jangl absolutely flying — predicts 1m messages in March

Late last year, Jangl turned on text message services and plugged in to both Facebook and Bebo — meaning that Jangl phone numbers could be used to send and receive texts, voice calls and voicemails.

Well, I’ve been waiting for news as to how the great unwashed (that is, the social networking users around the planet) have responded to Jangl’s offerings. Phenomenally well, it seems. I just heard from Jangl’s Tim Johnson that sign-ups and message traffic is going wild. I asked Tim for some specifics to publish:

* A five-fold increase in the number of sign-ups across these sites;
* An almost ten-fold increase in the number of messages exchanged;
* On one recent day, user registrations totalled more than 10,000

What’s more, at their current rate, Jangl reckons they’ll do at least 1,000,000 message during next month. Excellent. Plus, their recent update last week also enables text-capable numbers in the UK and Canada. If you haven’t checked out Jangl recently, get yourself a Jangl account and start playing.
